Juan Mata scored the first league goal of the new era in the 40th minute and Wayne Rooney headed the second just before the hour.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic then marked his league debut by scoring with a low drive from 25 metres.
Mourinho said he was impressed by all facets of his team's performance.
"Everything, three points, the quality of our attacking football, the quality of our control, the quality of us defensively, obviously it's the premier league, one mistake you are punished immediately so one mistake, one goal."
Liverpool put down an early marker as title contenders by scoring four times in 17 minutes to win 4-3 at Arsenal in a thrilling match at the Emirates.
They had fallen behind to last season's runners-up when Theo Walcott, having just had a penalty saved by Simon Mignolet, scored in the home team's next attack.
Arsenal, with three central defenders missing, then fell apart in conceding to Philippe Coutinho (twice), Adam Lallana and debutant Sadio Mane between the 45th and 62nd minutes.
Substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain immediately pulled one goal back and Calum Chambers added another but that was not enough to prevent only a second Liverpool win away to the London side in 21 visits.
